That is an adjustable pitch prop. Adjustable and variable mean the same
thing in
this context. The blades on a variable pitch prop do not change position.
They
are fixed in place permanently. Variable pitch props are props where the
blades
have a different pitch near the axis than they have at the tips. In other
words,
the pitch "varies" from hub to the outer end.
